2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Add the garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorns to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

5. Stir in the chicken and peanuts and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.

Tips:

• If you can't find Sichuan peppercorns, you can use black peppercorns, but the flavor will be slightly different.
• Adjust the amount of Sichuan peppercorns to your liking. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit them altogether.
• Serve the Kung Pao chicken with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce.
